Whenever I find/discover/taste something really good and, of course, nourishing, I rush here, in my sharable place :) So there you have it: a fresh, energetic, wholesome salad. Oh, and because my movement was rapid, I didn't had the chance to take a better (professional) photo, sorry about that.

I posted this heart shaped dessert on an average day.Why? - Due to marketing. To much marketing on 14 Feb.What you mean? - You do not notice, all the roses, chocolates and restaurant reservations?It's natural. - It is? Think twice. Natural is to have this all along. Not just now.

Natural is to love everyday:
- yourself;
- your partner;
- your family;
- your friends;
- your pets.Natural is to love life. Because life means love.Buy roses; buy chocolates; go to restaurant, as often as you can. Make it special each and every day.
To honor everyday love I've made this delicious, easy, wholesome, heartshaped dessert.

INSTRUCTIONS:
Mix all the ingredients, except frozen berries, in a bowl.
Press the mixture in a heart shaped.
Add the frozen berries and water in your food processor and pulse.
Pour the red watery over the mixture.
Place in the freezer for 1 hour.

Well, as a former enthusiastic lover of coconut - one of the greatest gifts on earth - I had to make the also known chocolate bar "Bounty". But of course in my own particular way. That it means: no sugar, no additives, nor artificial flavours. Nothing processed. Oh, and I changed the common form :)

Anything else? Should I say something about the amazing, mouth watering taste? I think words are not enough to describe such a simple, healthy and wholesome dessert. Or should I say how fast is prepared? I suppose you already know I don't like complicated things. So, enough talking around.

Serves: 4 cups

Prep time: 2-5 mins

INGREDIENTS:

- 1 cup shredded coconut

- 1 TBSP honey

- 1 TBSP melted coconut oil

- 1 TBSP raw cacao

- 1 TBSP carob

INSTRUCTIONS:

Put together in a bowl the shredded coconut and honey and mix.

Press the mixture into pancake forms or your desired forms.

Warm coconut oil just until it is liquefied.

Pour it in another bowl where you add the raw cacao and carob and mix.

I have promised a few days ago on my facebook page a recipe. The most easy, delicious, healthy chocolate recipe :) So because I stirred up a little the curiosity and of course the senses, I had to put all the ingredients back together, take pictures and share with you guys. Hope you'll give it a try. Trust me, it's so worth it.

Serves: 4 cups

Prep time: 2-5 mins

INGREDIENTS:

- 1 cup raw cacao (or 1/2 cup cacao and 1/2 carob)

- 1/2 cup or 1/3 cup melted coconut oil

- 1 TBSP honey (or maple syrup)

INSTRUCTIONS:

Usually the coconut oil is solid. So it has to be cooked a few seconds until it melts.

Then you add all the ingredients in a bowl and mix gently until well combined.

So this is my very first post since 2015. And I had to start it in my own particular way: sunday morning, taking pictures, writing in bed - that's the stuff :) Moreover, get to make nourishing desserts and share with you guys, it's what makes me happy. I hope you enjoy my Snowballs be alike Raffaello. They come packed with goodies, all nourishing, and they lack of sugar, dairy, artificial flavorings.

On the other hand, are you enthusiastic about the New Year? Are you willing to challenge yourself? Are you willing to let go of the past and make a step outside of your confort zone? Are you grateful for the ups and downs that 2014 give you? I hope you are. Because I know I am. I am grateful for all the experiences I've been thru: disappointments, ups and downs, big changes, big challenges, things I never tried before and never thought I would. I've pushed my limits, I learned a lot of things and I grow. Thank you, 2014!
As for 2015? Like I said in previous post, let's make healthy choices, day by day, rather than resolutions. Let's be better TODAY.
